Abstract
Electronic voltage transformers (EVT) and electronic current transformers (ECT) are important instruments in a
digital substation. For simple, rapid and convenient development, the paper proposed an on-site calibration
system for electronic instrument transformers based on LabVIEW. In the system, analog signal sampling
precision and dynamic range are guaranteed by the Agilent 3458A digital multimeter, and data synchronization
is also achieved based on a self-developed PCI synchronization card. To improve the measurement accuracy, an
error correction algorithm based on the Hanning window interpolation FFT has good suppression of frequency
fluctuation and inter-harmonics interference. The human-computer interface and analysis algorithm are designed
based on LabVIEW, and the adaptive communication technology is designed based on IEC61850 9-1/2. The
calibration system can take into account pairs of digital output and analog output of the electronic
voltage/current transformer calibration. The results of system tests show that the calibration system can meet the
requirements of 0.2 class calibration accuracy, and the actual type test and on-site calibration also show that the
system is easy to operate with convenience and satisfactory stability.

1. Introduction
In recent years, with the rapid development of substation automation and network
communication technology, especially the promulgation and implementation of the IEC
61850 standard, the traditional substation has shown gradual transition to a digital substation.
Electronic voltage transformers (EVT) and electronic current transformers (ECT) are
important instruments in digital substations [1-3]. Their outputs are sent to the merging unit
(MU) of transformers, and digital signals are converted into the data bus serving for
substation monitoring, relay protection and control systems, so reliability can reach 99%.
Based on the IEC60044-7/8 standards, the electronic transformer secondary output is divided
into two kinds of digital output and analog output [4-5]. However, traditional calibration
equipment cannot meet the requirements. This motivates some study of calibration systems of
electronic instrument transformers [6-9].
Calibration systems with digital output and analog output are used to replace conventional
calibration systems because of the principle of diversity and characteristics of EVT/ECT.
Therefore mainly considering the factors influencing the accuracy of the calibration system
and employing a simple but reliable structure, an on-site calibration system for electronic
instrument transformers is designed with a rated voltage of 10 to 500 kV of EVT and a rated
current of 5 to 5000 A of ECT. In the system, an Agilent 3458A digital multimeter is used to

greatly expand the sampling precision to improve the accuracy and reliability. For data
acquisition to obtain simultaneous measurements, the self-developed PCI synchronization
card can provide pulse synchronization signals to synchronize the reference and tested
channels of the system. The human-computer interface and analysis algorithm are designed
based on LabVIEW, which can make a real-time display of the waveform, frequency,
amplitude, phase, and other data to facilitate comprehensive analysis of transformer
performance. On the other hand, software exploiting, debugging and improving are easier,
compared with the hardware circuit. It not only accelerates progress in the development, but
also improves the stability of the product [10-11]. The system has achieved a high accuracy
of EVT/ECT calibration, which enhances both the flexibility of digital signal processing and
the computing speed as well. To improve the measurement accuracy, the Hanning window
interpolation FFT (HWIpFFT) algorithm is used. It not only meets the requirements of high-
precision sampling, but also is not sensitive to high frequency interference and frequency
fluctuation of the tested signal.
The combination of the key technologies which were proposed in the paper is the most
important feature to realize high accuracy and also the contributions of the paper. The paper is
organized as follows. Section 2 elaborates the theory and design proposal of the system.
The design of the on-site calibration system is presented first and then the scheme of the key
technologies is discussed in Section 3. Then experiment results are presented and discussed
in Section 4. At last, the conclusions are given in Section 5.
2. Principle and structure
In this paper, according to the IEC 60044-7/8 standard, the on-site calibration system
of electronic instrument transformers is designed to estimate the measuring accuracy of the
tested EVT/ECT. The block diagrams of the calibration system are shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
They describe the system principle and structure of testing of EVT/ECT, respectively.
The proposed calibration system contains a reference channel, a tested channel, and a
testing device. In Fig. 1, the reference channel includes the standard voltage transformer
(VT), and 2
18 digital multimeter (Agilent 3458A for analog-to-digital conversion). In Fig. 2,
the reference channel includes the standard current transformer (CT), sampling resistor, and
Agilent 3458A. The standard CT would provide an output current, and then through the
sampling resistor, the Agilent digital multimeter with data acquisition functions can acquire
the signal and ensure high accuracy. In Figs. 1 and 2, the tested channel includes the tested
EVT/ECT and MU. The signal from the tested EVT/ECT is sampled on the high voltage side
of power systems, then sampling results are transmitted to the MU by the optical fiber.
The data reception of the reference and tested channels is charged by the testing device
based on an industrial personal computer (IPC), which has a PCI-GPIB (general purpose
interface bus) card and an Ethernet interface. Using a self-developed clock synchronization
card, the IPC transmits pulse synchronization signals to achieve the synchronization of data
acquisition. Then, the IPC begins receiving 10 cycles of data from the two channels every
time and stores them in order. In the IPC, Labview is used as the unified software platform
for computing, saving, calling, and displaying, which provides a convenient way for the
proposed calibration system. Thus, the development program is characterized by the use
of software to calibrate the tested EVT/ECT with the standard transformer. A number
of measurements can be performed, for example ratio error, phase error, frequency, harmonic
content about two sets of data using the HWIpFFT algorithm.

3. Design
Furthermore, the proposed calibration system combines the signal conversion unit, data
acquisition unit, signal synchronization unit, IPC, and LabVIEW software programs and so
on. In the system, signal acquisition, signal synchronization and other hardware are
concentrated in an IPC in which signal processing and other functions are implemented by the
Labview software.
3.1. Hardware Design
(1) Signal conversion unit (I/V conversion). The unit is individually set for CT calibration.
The secondary current output signals of the standard CT (with accuracy 0.02 class) are
converted to voltage signals by the high precision sampling resistor ( 1 with 0.01 accuracy
class), so that the Agilent digital multimeter can read data properly.

(2) Data acquisition unit. The Agilent 3458A digital multimeter is the fastest, most flexible,
and most accurate multimeter offered by Agilent Technologies, which is important to be
compatible with LabVIEW software. It is used to measure the input signals as an A/D
converter of the reference channel. It can provide an effective precision of 24 bits with the
least significant bit weighted 2-23. The error of the test setup is small enough to be ignored
when it is used for verification of the calibration. MUs are used to merge and synchronize the
sampled voltage/current signals and transmit these data to IEDs (intelligent electronic
devices). The model of the MU used in the paper is OEMU702. It supports connectons to
EVT/ECT and electro-magnetic VT/CT. And it can also operate as an A/D and D/A
converter in a substation between the ECT/EVT and conventional VT/CT to deliver
synchronized signals to busbar protection and transformer protection. The technical data
of OEMU702 is shown in Table 1.

(3) Signal synchronization unit. The key of the calibration system is also reflected on the
pulse synchronization signals. The acquisition process must be synchronized sampling, or
else the calculation results will lack any sense. The PCI synchronization card is self-
developed, based on the ARM7 microcontroller (LPC2214). The synchronization error limit
can be less than ± 1μs if each MU shall be able to compensate the signal delay. The card is
inserted in the IPC PCI slot, and can output four synchronous pulses of the 2-channel
electrical signals and 2-channel optical signals. So, it is easy to be used to meet the different
synchronization needs of MUs. The block diagram of the PCI synchronization card is shown
in Fig.3. As shown in Fig.3, we design a serial port in the card, which is for serial
communication between the PCI synchronization card and IPC. It can be convenient and
flexible to use a different PC.

In the tests, the MU and Agilent 3458A must reach time synchronization for the calibration
[12-13]. Therefore, the IPC uses a clock synchronization signal to control synchronous
sampling of the two channels. The two channels start sampling when they receive the
synchronizing pulse generated by the synchronization card. The optical synchronization pulse
signal (or electrical synchronization pulse signal) is used for the MU clock synchronization,
so that the sampling beats of the MU are synchronous with Agilent 3458A. So, this will
confirm the synchronization of the signals that are from the reference and tested channels, and
it can make sure that the follow-up analysis is correct.

Fig.4 shows the technical requirements of the synchronization second pulse signal.
The clock frequency is 1 Hz. The triggering optical power is 50% of the maximum optical
power at the rising edge of synchronization second pulse signal. Generally the MUs can
detect the correctness of the signal. If the difference between adjacent pulses interval time
and the ideal interval time (1s) is larger than 10μs, the synchronization signal is abnormal,
then the synchronization state sent out according to IEC61850-9 is “1”. Otherwise, the
MUs can be synchronized and send out the synchronization state as “0” according to
IEC61850-9.
(4) Interfaces. The GPIB interface and Ethernet interface can improve reliability and
convenient access interface of the calibration system. And high-speed data transfer can be
carried out by these interfaces in the system too. The NI PCI-GPIB communication card is
used , inserted in the IPC PCI slot. It can facilitate the connection between the IPC and
Agilent 3458A. Further, it is important that LabVIEW software supports GPIB and Ethernet
protocols.

3.2. Software design
3.2.1. Calibration software design
The calibration software is used to mainly perform two tasks: the communication between
the IPC and local instruments, and data analysis. The software flowchart is shown in Fig. 5.
The calibration system interface is designed by LabVIEW software, and software interface
consists of three parts: parameter setting interface, data analysis interface and parameter
analysis interface.
Parameter setting interface shown in Fig. 6 is to complete calibration parameters setting,
including digital/analog transformer selection, system rated primary/secondary value setting,
systems protocol selection, calibration channel selection and calibration times.

Fig. 6. Parameter setting interface of the calibration system.
Fig. 7. Data analysis interface of the calibration system.
Data analysis interface is mainly to show the calculating results, shown in Fig.7. The
interface is the core of the system. After parameters setting is completed, click the “Start”
button ("one-button" model) to complete the whole measurement and calibration process in
accordance with configuration parameters, and be able to display the percentage of the
standard source amplitude, system frequency, ratio errors (max, minimum and average),
phase errors (maximum, minimum and average), real-time waveforms, progress of the
implementation of system test, detailed list of parameters (percentage of amplitude, ratio
error, phase error) and calculation is valid or not for each comparison, etc..
Parameter analysis interface is mainly for the failure calibration of the transformer, shown
in Fig.8. In the time domain analysis, frequency, amplitude, phase angle, and other parameters
of the two channels’ signals would be calculated. For the frequency domain analysis, it can
automatically analyze the amplitude spectrum of the two channels’ signals from DC, 2 to 20
harmonics, then calculate the harmonic ratio (HR), total harmonic distortion (THD) of them.
HR is the ratio of the amplitude of the kth harmonic to the amplitude of the first harmonic
(fundamental frequency component). The HR is usually expressed in percent, for a voltage
signal, which can equivalently be written as

where kU is the RMS (root-mean-square) voltage of the kth harmonic. 1U is the RMS voltage

3.2.2. System communication
System communication refers to communication between the calibration system and the
MU. With the strong construction of the digital substation, the communication protocol of the
MU tends to be standardized using the IEC 61850-9 standard [12-13]. In the software
design of the calibration system, it is compatible with three protocols
{ IEC61850 (-9-1, -9-2,-9-2LE) }. So, the system can be flexible to select the communication
protocol to calibrate the electronic instrument transformers with various communication
modes, and provide full frame resolution to automatically analyze ASDU (application service
data unit) data.

3.2.3 Error calculation algorithm with HWIpFFT
As it is well known, actual power signals are not ideal. They can be considered as the
sum of a series of different components superimposed over a fundamental component, and
the amplitude of a harmonic is generally a few percent of that of the fundamental or smaller.
When non-synchronous sampling is done on the actual signal, the spectrum leakage will
seriously affect the fundamental frequency component by the FFT, resulting in great error of
the calibration system. And the large-amplitude harmonic components also can overwhelm
the small ones. An appropriate window function and interpolation algorithm can improve the
accuracy of the FFT.
Interpolation FFT(IpFFT) is a well known technique that allows improving the parameter
estimation accuracy of a non-synchronous sampling signal. By convoluting the used window
function spectrum with a non-synchronous sampling signal, a theoretical function for the
expected spectrum of the FFT peaks is obtained. Thus interpolating the FFT peaks with this
function will result in improved parameter estimation. For real-time use, the algorithm must
have a tradeoff between accuracy and execution time. In this paper, the selected IpFFT
algorithm is a two-point algorithm using the Hanning window [14].
Consider a sampled monofrequency signal

algorithm uses an estimation scheme with two spectral lines ( )( 1kX , )1( 1 kX ), and
subsequently calculates the corresponding parameters of the spectral line ( )0( 1 kX or

3.3 Uncertainty of the system
There are three main factors of uncertainty of the calibration system: the standard VT/CT,
the digital sampling system and the error calculation method.
The standard VT/CT uncertainty can be measured by comparing with a much more
accurate reference transducer. The uncertainty of the standard VT is found to be less than
0.01% for ratio error and 0.2 min for phase error. The uncertainty of the standard CT is less
than 0.02% for ratio error and 0.3 min for phase error. The sampling resistor is used as the
rated secondary burden of the standard CT and as the converter from current to voltage which
supplies the Agilent 3458A with proper voltage value. The resistor was tested by the precision
impedance analyzer. The relative error of the resistance is less than 0.01%.
The calibration system requires not only high resolution but also low uncertainty.
To assure low uncertainty, the Agilent 3458A digital multimeter is used. It can achieve
low-uncertainty performance with 100 ppm best accuracy for AC voltages. And it has the
digital sampling function and external trigger synchronous sampling mode, which can ensure
sampling accuracy (signal amplitude) and sampling synchronization (signal delay). The
quantization error and nonlinearity error of the AD converters in the Agilent 3458A can be
neglected since their effects are usually negligible[15].
Leakage effects happen when the sampling rate is not an exact multiple of the frequency
of the voltage or current that is applied to the primary of the reference and tested transformers.
The windows technique and phase difference correction method can greatly reduce the
effects. Thus the HWIpFFT algorithm can analyze the signals with very high accuracy, which
is normally less than 0.05%[14].

4. Experiment
4.1. Definitions for the error calculation
Take the EVT testing for example. In order to individually verify the tested EVT, its
accuracy can be measured in a large range of voltages by comparing it to the standard VT
with an accuracy of class 0.02. The ratio error u is defined as [4]
100-

UUK , (8)
where nK is the rated transformation ratio, pU is the (RMS) value of the primary voltage, sU
is the RMS value of the secondary voltage. The general definition for the phase error u is
ps -)rad( u , (9)
where p is the phase angle of the primary voltage, s is the phase angle of the secondary
voltage.
ECT testing is performed in the same way as the EVT testing[5].
4.2. Type test
In order to test the correctness of the calibration system, the following tests are done in the
laboratory. A FLUKE 5720A multifunction calibrator as a standard signal source combines
with the calibration system to measure the ratio error and phase error, which can provide two
standard voltage signals. The calibration schematics of ratio error and phase error
measurement are shown in Fig.10, respectively.

Measurement results show that the calibration system can achieve 0.05% accuracy. So, the
system can meet the requirements of 0.2 class calibration accuracy of electronic instrument
transformers.
4.3. On-site calibration
According to Figs.1 and 2, we have set up a calibration system which is specified to
verify accuracy and feasibility of the tested EVT/ECT. This system has been used for on-site
calibration in the Sanxiang substation in Guangdong province, shown in Fig.11.

procedure. According to IEC60044-7, voltage at the 80%~120% of rated voltage must meet
the accuracy requirements for the tested EVT. Test results are shown in Fig.12 (transformer
type: EVT; test channel: A phase; rated transformation ratio of measuring voltage:

10 kV/57.7V; test times: 10; transformer inherent delay: 255μs). According to IEC60044-8,
current at the 5 ~ 120% of rated current must meet the accuracy requirements for the tested
ECT. Test results are shown in Fig.13 (transformer type: ECT; test channel: A phase; rated
transformation ratio of measuring current: 300A/1A; test times: 10; transformer inherent
delay: 188μs).
As shown in Figs.13 and 14, the percentage ratio error and phase error of the tested 0.2
class EVT/ECT are small and lower than the 0.2s class limit. So, the EVT/ECT can meet the
accuracy requirements of a 0.2 class standard.

5. Conclusions
In this paper, an on-site calibration system for electronic voltage and current transformers
with both analog and digital outputs has been introduced. The signals are measured at the
secondary outputs of the reference transformer and tested transformer when the same
excitation signal is fed to their primaries. To improve the measurement accuracy, the
HWIpFFT algorithm is used. Labview is used as the unified software platform for computing,
saving, calling and displaying, which provides a convenient way for the proposed calibration
system. In accordance with IEC60044-7/8, the system can verify the ratio error and phase
error of the tested EVT/ECT.
The type test results mentioned above show that the proposed system has a high accuracy
qualified to the calibration of the tested EVT/ECT. The on-site calibration proves that it is
also convenient in the on-site installation and implementation. The experiment results show
that it can meet the calibration requirements of the electronic instrument transformer with 0.2s
class. So, the system is suitable for on-site testing due to its high accuracy, simple structure
and low-cost hardware.
